An eye exam to determine your best corrected vision with a personal copy of your prescription for glasses and a limited eye health screening including eye pressures, visual field, and color vision. This routine eye exam does not include treatment for medical conditions such as dry eye, allergies, and eye infections, as these are covered by medical insurance and should be treated by a specialist.

A yearly eye exam, as required by federal law, of appropriate brand and fit of soft contact lenses, a personal copy of your finalized contact lens prescription which is valid for 1 year, and a personal copy of your glasses prescription. Trial soft contact lenses are included if available in your prescription, as well as education on the insertion, removal and cleaning of the contact lenses. Follow-ups are included for 60 days to check the fit and comfort of the trial contact lenses. Federal law requires us to issue contact lens prescriptions in a timely manner. Therefore, contact lens prescriptions must be finalized within 60 days of the original eye exam date; otherwise a new Routine Soft Contact Lens and Glasses Eye Exam will be required. Due to low demand, we no longer fit hard/gas permeable contact lenses.

In order to better evaluate the health of the eyes, we recommend having screening digital photographs taken of the back of the eye. This procedure utilizes a special digital camera to take a photograph of the central area of the back of the eye called the retina, usually without dilation. Dilation is a procedure during which medicated eye drops are placed in the eye to relax the muscles is that control the size of the pupil, making it larger. The doctor is then able to immediately view these images on a computer, show you what he sees in the back of the eye, and store the pictures electronically for an accurate comparison year after year. The ability to accurately compare the pictures year after year allows for better tracking of conditions known to affect the back of the eye such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and glaucoma. This procedure is typically NOT covered by insurance plans.
